Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1346 Headquarters Controversy (First Update!)

The lieutenant general who came from Chongqing suddenly reminded: "There is a problem!"

"It's almost dawn, and the Eighth Route Army with two reinforced regiments is still trapped outside Taiyuan City by the Japanese~"

"Taiyuan City is too important to the Japanese, and they will definitely defend it at all costs. Without Taiyuan Airport, they will also dispatch planes from farther airports to reinforce Taiyuan!"

"Because of the long distance, those planes won't stay on the battlefield for too long, but they can still deal a big blow to your army!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the troops of these two reinforced regiments must be the first targets of the Japanese air force!"

"After dawn, with the reinforcements of the air force, destroy these two regiments first!"

"I suggest that your Eighth Route Army headquarters immediately send a telegram to the siege troops, ordering the two regiments to find a way to break through and retreat, otherwise the two regiments must be finished!"

The commander-in-chief replied with a serious face: "No, we believe in the command ability of the siege headquarters. For front-line troops, the headquarters is only responsible for determining the combat objectives. How to direct is the front-line commander's business, and we will not intervene!"

Yan Zhangguan, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

"It's a good thing that it doesn't affect the front-line command and operations. But you can't just watch the four thousand soldiers of the two reinforced regiments be killed by the devils! I suggest you send a telegram, and the four thousand soldiers were killed just like that. It's really too much." It's a pity~"

Chief Yan's idea was very simple. Since it was impossible to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking Taiyuan City, it would be good to make the Eighth Route Army lose more and embarrass the head of the headquarters.

Everyone next to the sand table understood the meaning of Yan Zhangguan's words, and stared at the commander-in-chief to see a joke.

See if the commander-in-chief really does not interfere with the front-line command according to the regulations, and trust the front-line commander.I still value the lives of thousands of soldiers more. For thousands of soldiers, even if I violate discipline, I have to send a telegram!

They were disappointed, and the confident smile on the commander-in-chief's face remained the same as before.

Pointing to the sand table, he explained: "Everyone, do you know what preparations these two reinforcement groups have made when they set off?"

"Tell you, it is the preparation for the destruction of the whole army!"

"Before they set off, they knew that there was a high possibility that they would die on the battlefield!"

"However, they still went, and after they went, they didn't plan to retreat, unless they took Taiyuan City and entered Taiyuan City!"

"I know that some of you want to say that this is simply taking the soldiers of two regiments to die. Then let me tell you now, whether our Eighth Route Army can take Taiyuan City or not, these two regiments have played a vital role!"

"Consultant Wang, please inform the generals how many devils these two reinforced regiments have killed, and how many devils are left in Taiyuan City!"

"Yes, Chief!"

"Generals, according to the latest enemy situation report sent by the former enemy siege headquarters, although the two regiments suffered heavy losses under the encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, they also killed more than 2000 devils!"

"The two regiments are taking advantage of the last few hours before dawn to dig anti-aircraft trenches on the solid positions to reduce the casualties that the Japanese aviation will definitely bring to the troops after dawn!"

"According to their estimates, after dawn, the Japanese army will definitely attack them desperately under the cover of aircraft!"

"As long as they persist until dark, they will definitely wipe out a large number of devils, even if the entire army is wiped out!"

Many generals in the headquarters were shocked by Staff Officer Wang's words.

In their army, there are very few troops who will do so when they know they are dying.

An army is not afraid of even death, which shows how powerful this army is.

The lieutenant general was also shocked, took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Why did you do this? Is there anything worth fighting for four thousand soldiers, even if the entire army is wiped out!"

"Consultant Wang, you continue!" The commander-in-chief ordered directly without explaining.

"Our intelligence personnel lurking in Taiyuan City reported that in order to kill our two reinforcement regiments, the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan City Garrison dispatched nearly 5000 people from the city to attack them!"

"Currently, the entire Japanese army in Taiyuan City has been almost exhausted!"

"There is only one regiment of puppet troops and one squadron of devils left on the city wall for vigilance. There are only half of the gendarmerie brigade, half of the guard brigade, and one regiment of the puppet army left in the city. The total strength is less than 2000!"

"The Japanese army has lost more than 2000 of the [-] elite soldiers drawn from the city of Taiyuan."

"If more than 2000 people are killed by two reinforcement groups, Taiyuan City will become an empty city!"

"As long as our troops wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops outside Taiyuan City, it will be easy to take Taiyuan City!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly interrupted and said: "Think about it, everyone, if there were no sacrifices from these two reinforced regiments, five thousand Japanese troops would still be guarding Taiyuan City. Take Taiyuan City!"

"I believe Chief Yan knows this best. After all, the strong fortifications of Taiyuan City were built by your Jinsui army back then. After the Japanese army took over, they only made some reinforcements and a small amount of supplements!"

Chief Yan's dream was shattered again, he hesitated to answer.

"It turns out that this is the case, then the sacrifice of these 4000 people is too cost-effective!"

"If not for their sacrifices, 1 Japanese troops would stick to the fortifications of Taiyuan City, even if your Eighth Route Army lost [-] people, you might not be able to break through the defenses of Taiyuan City!"

No one in the headquarters thought that these 4000 people would be so useful.

Many generals gathered together to discuss and deduce in a low voice, wondering if the siege troops could be replaced by their own troops.

To their disappointment, once the siege troops were replaced by their troops, this tactic could not be carried out.

If the two reinforced regiments want to consume a large amount of Japanese troops under the heavy siege of the enemy, they must be elite troops and be well-equipped.

Such an army is held in the hands of every commander like a treasure, and they are afraid of any accidents. How can they be used as bait at the risk of annihilation of the entire army?
Without a unit that is not afraid of death and has a strong fighting capacity as a bait, the entire battle plan cannot be implemented!
After thinking about it, there is only one way for them to take down Taiyuan City, a strong attack!

The Lieutenant General's expression was very serious at the Sunset Headquarters in Taiyuan City.

It took less than two hours from receiving the attack on Taiyuan Airport to losing contact with Taiyuan Airport.

In such a short period of time, nearly two thousand imperial troops at Taiyuan Airport were gone.

Although nearly half of the imperial army in it are technical arms with little combat effectiveness, they are all Japanese anyway, and they are soldiers who have undergone recruit training.

"Sir, we have found out that there are more than 2 Eighth Route Army troops attacking us outside the city, nearly 5000 in each direction. They are well-equipped, powerful in combat, and more importantly, their offensive firepower is very strong!" The chief of staff suddenly broke in Come on, he reported in a panic.
